As the festive season approaches, visions of chestnuts roasting on an open fire and families gathered around the table for Christmas dinner begin dancing in our heads. This year, make those visions a reality by escaping to the rolling countryside.
Between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales lies Holgates Cottages, a collection of self-catering holiday rentals perfect for a festive retreat. Whether you plan to relax or seek adventure, our Christmas cottage breaks offer an unforgettable getaway.

Holgates Holiday Cottages at Christmas & New Year
When you arrive at your Christmas cottage, you’ll be greeted by a gorgeously decorated interior perfect for celebrating the season. Many of our cottages boast crackling log burners and spacious lounge areas, ideal for gathering the whole family after long walks in the winter landscape.
From The Pepperpot’s cosy nooks to The Barn’s games room, each of our holiday cottages in Lancashire, Cumbria and The South Lakes offers its own unique charms:
Keer Cottage
Our newest addition located on the Morecambe Bay coastline, Keer Cottage charms with an enclosed garden and pretty cottage-style decor. Gather the family around the log burner on cold nights or take winter walks along the shore.
Pier & Tower Cottages
These adjacent cottages put you steps from quaint village life in Arnside, perfect for joining in local celebrations. Each sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms, and are perfect to hire out together for larger family get-togethers.
Hollins Cottage
On our own working farm, this Hollins cottage delivers a rustic-chic farmhouse Christmas. Outdoor play areas and our holiday park facilities will keep young ones busy while parents relax by the fireside with mugs of mulled wine.
The Knott
Snuggle up in The Knott, our quintessential cottage in Silverdale village. Easy access to local shops, restaurants and cafes makes it ideal for complete immersion in village Christmas cheer.


The Pepperpot
Silverdale village is also home to The Pepperpot. Its cosy interior with a log burner offers the perfect place for relaxing after a winter walk in Lancashire.
Cove Lodge
Cove Lodge lies on the outskirts of Silverdale village. Featuring a secluded garden, the twin and double bedrooms welcome 4 guests. Enjoy a local walk or make the most of our facilities at Silverdale Holiday Park.
The Barn
The Barn offers a luxury family stay with a games room, log burner and views of stunning scenery. Gather here with extended family and friends, or for a romantic break to enjoy The Barn’s charming farmhouse style in relaxed privacy.
Hillberry Cottage
Take in the local rural beauty with a stay at Hillberry Cottage this Christmas, set amidst the village of Yealand Redmayne. This quaint cottage for 4 offers views of the neighbouring countryside from its spacious private garden.
With two beautifully finished bedrooms and easy access to nearby towns, Hillberry Cottage promises an unforgettable Christmas break.
A Season of Simple Pleasures
Staying in one of these holiday homes allows you to focus on life’s simple pleasures. The surrounding area is perfect for a brisk winter walk, before warming yourself by the fire over mugs of hot chocolate or mulled wine.
In the evening, dine at a local pub known for hearty roasts and puddings that comfort and satisfy before retiring back to the cottage for an evening of crackers and holiday films.


Gateway to the Lakes and Dales
Base yourself in a self-catering cottage in Silverdale or Arnside and you’ll enjoy the peaceful setting while remaining only a short drive from the picturesque Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Venture into the outstanding natural beauty to capture photos of snow-dusted peaks and frosted lakes, then return to the warmth and privacy of your Christmas cottage.
The landscapes surrounding Holgate’s cottages invite adventure and discovery any time of year but take on a truly magical aura during the festive period. Embark on scenic winter walks through forests and ascend nearby peaks like Arnside Knott for views that stretch across the glittering bay to the Lake District beyond.
Staying at Holgates Cottages also means enjoying complimentary access to the 5* leisure facilities at the nearby Silverdale Holiday Park. After action-packed days exploring the national park, indulge in a soothing dip in the pool or soak in the jacuzzi.
